    Except for Meng Zitao and Dajun, no one else could use words to describe the shock in their hearts, and they were all stunned.

    Yes, just like the scene that Meng Zitao encountered in Shaokang's tomb, twenty or thirty meters in front of the cave exit is a flat land with an area of ??at least more than 5 square kilometers, which is larger than that of Shaokang's tomb.  many.

    There are densely packed strange trees and shrubs growing on the plain. Those strange trees are very tall, most of them are more than 20 meters high, and some have even grown to the top of the cave.

    In addition, the underground river just now flows from west to east, passing right through the plain, providing water for the plants here.

    If there is sunshine, this place will be a paradise!

    But lack of light is another matter. Very few plants can live in an environment without light. So, how do these trees in front of us survive?

    ¡°Bah bang bang!¡±

    A sound like frying beans brought everyone back to their senses. Then, everyone saw fire and explosions hundreds of meters away, mixed with the angry roars of wild beasts.

    "What's going on over there?" Professor Qiu asked nervously.

    Meng Zitao looked at the location of the exchange of fire and said: "It is very likely that the people from the Soul-seeking Guard are engaging in the exchange of fire. Army, please be vigilant. Others are familiar with the surrounding environment."

    The army first took the security personnel down to guard them, and only allowed Meng Zitao and the others to go down until there was no safety problem.

    At this time, the two professors could not wait and began to study their respective fields of interest.

    Professor Qiu ran to the tree and immediately exclaimed: "This looks like a bitter tree!"

    ¡°How could the bitter tree grow in this place?¡±

    Professor Qi didn¡¯t quite believe it, but after careful observation, he found that it was indeed very similar to the bitter tree.

    Sophora japonica is a deciduous tree with wide leaves with thorns on the edges. It grows south of the Yangtze River and north of Wuling. In the southwest, it is only found in eastern Xishu and northeastern Guizhou.  It is no wonder that Professor Qi doesn't agree with the discovery of the sophora japonica here, and in a dark environment.

    These trees that were suspected of being sophora trees were already bearing fruits, so Professor Qiu asked someone to pick a few from a shorter tree.

    The fruit growing on the locust tree is quite similar to a chestnut, and the hard-shelled fruit inside is the locust, which is about the size of a thumb, and is also called an acorn.  Its shape is very similar to a pocket drum, except that the top is pointed, like a bullet, and the bottom is like a drum head. When tapped with your fingertips, it can make a beeping sound.  The body of the shell is an uneven shade of raw brown. If you shake it close to your ear, you can clearly hear the beating of the nuts inside.

    Professor Qiu peeled off the skin of the fruit. The fruit inside was the same as the common tangerine. He said excitedly: "It has at least 80% of the genes of the sophora japonica!"

    Professor Qiu looked at the woods in front of him and felt very excited. These trees were priceless treasures to him.

    Meng Zitao took a tangerine seed, peeled off the skin and the hard shell inside, and revealed the pulp inside. The flesh was different from common tangerine seeds, it was translucent in color, smelled of rice, and felt very delicious.

    In reality, mountain people collect oak chestnuts from the mountains, dry them in the sun, remove the hard shells, soak them in running water for a week to remove the astringent lemons, then grind the pulp into fine powder and filter out the coarse residue, and the result is  Once you have made the powder of the cypress seeds, you can eat it and use it to make various foods.

    The tangerine in Meng Zitao's hand smells like it can be eaten raw. If there were no toxic side effects, people in the ancient ancient country could use it to satisfy their hunger, and the environmental disadvantages here could be reduced.

    "Xiao Zhang, help me record the data!"

    The unexpected discovery made Professor Qiu so passionate that he ignored the gunshots coming from the distance and concentrated on his research.

    Meng Zitao is actually very curious about the situation on the other side of the firefight, but he is not stupid enough to deliberately go over and join in the fun and take out the map he got before to check it out.

    Speaking of which, this map is really abstract. If he hadn¡¯t entered this place, Meng Zitao wouldn¡¯t have been able to see the similarities between the two.

    ¡°Moreover, I don¡¯t know what the points marked on the map mean. Do they mean that there is danger in that place, or that there are ruins or treasures there.

    No matter what, Meng Zitao must visit these places to avoid missing treasures.

    While Meng Zitao was studying the map, he suddenly heard an exclamation from Professor Qiu. He quickly looked back and saw a tree in front of Professor Qiu suddenly shaking, and the leaves rustled, something like a horror movie.  That is the sense of sight.

    Meng Zitao walked over quickly and found that dark red liquid was flowing on the tree trunk, as if it was bleeding!

      "Thisis this tree alive" Professor Qiu was so frightened by the tree that he even trembled a little when he spoke.

    Meng Zitao asked: "Professor Qiu, what happened just now?"

    Professor Qiu replied: "As you can see, I originally asked Xiao Zhang to take some samples, but I didn't expect that this tree looks like an animal and actually bleeds! Could it be that it has become a spirit?"

    Meng Zitao shook his head: "I think this is right. Generally speaking, plants need to carry out photosynthesis, but there is no such condition in this cave, so in the long process of evolution, it survived and became  A special species that combines plants and animals. Because of this, it can survive underground without light."

    Everyone thinks Meng Zitao¡¯s explanation makes sense, but because of this, these trees are even more attractive to Professor Qiu. This forest is a priceless treasure in his eyes.

    "Professor Qi, where have you been and how did you end up like this?"

    At this time, Meng Zitao noticed Professor Qi who had arrived late. He was gray and looked as if he had dug dirt somewhere.

    Professor Qi replied: "I just found something. Come with me and take a look."

    Meng Zitao led people and Professor Qi to the place he mentioned. It was an open space of 100 square meters. It was obvious at first glance that this open space was left over, and the ground was also paved with stone bricks.

    In addition, there are two stone statues placed in the center of the open space, but the stone statues have been destroyed. One stone statue is complete with only one leg left, and the other stone statue only has one third of its body left, with the upper part damaged.  , it is not clear what kind of stone statue this is.

    In addition, in the middle of the stone statue is a pillar, which is also broken. When Meng Zitao walked over, he could still see some patterns carved on the pillar.

    Professor Qi said: "Based on my many years of research on the ancient country of Jingjue, these patterns should be used on fire-related utensils, and I just found some traces of burning in the wreckage on the ground, indicating that this pillar  , which probably served as lighting at the time.¡±

    Meng Zitao agreed that it is impossible for people to live in a lightless environment all the time. If this was a place where people from ancient times avoided disasters, then there would definitely be large lighting equipment. If it was a fixed torch, it would be considered normal.

    Professor Qi continued: "I suspect that there may be more than one place like this in the entire underground space."

    Meng Zitao nodded: "Professor Qi, what is the use of finding these places?"

    Professor Qi said: "This place seems to be just a place used by ordinary people. If the royal family also owns such a venue, then we should not be far from finding our target."

    Meng Zitao was silent for a moment, then he took out the map and compared it: "Look at the shape here, is it similar to the surrounding areas?"

    "Yes, that should be right here!"

    Professor Qi looked at the map and pointed to the spot marked on the map very excitedly: "Let's go to this place and have a look. If it can be verified, it will prove that the location marked on this map refers to the same lighting as here."  Place. And this place was probably where the king lived at that time."

    Meng Zitao also agreed with Professor Qi's view and decided to go to the nearest place to verify it first. They returned to Professor Qiu's place.

    Now Professor Qiu is in the mood of research and refuses to go there for verification. Considering that it is relatively safe here, Meng Zitao asked the army to stay here with security guards to protect Professor Qiu. He, Professor Qi and others, a total of four people,  Go to the nearest point on the map.

    After walking for a while, the gunfire of the exchange gradually stopped, the roars of the beasts were no longer heard, and it was not clear which side was victorious.

    Considering that the party involved in the exchange of fire was relatively close to where the king was suspected to live, everyone felt a sense of urgency and the speed accelerated a lot.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
